    Grabon Grips

    Thanks for the advice on posting, Toecutter. I don't get enough practice doing things like this. I just found the grips at my local dealer. They were the same price as on-line, $23.95.

    Grabon Grips

    Just my luck. They worked in the test area. Screwed up again. Sorry.

    Grabon Grips

    I just installed a set of these grips and took a fairly long ride to day and for once my fingers didn't go numb. They're larger diameter than most anything out there and they're longer than stock but they have a solid core so the extra length dosen't matter. They may be adaptable for the use of...

    Bridgestone BT-021 Feedback

    I've had a set of 021s on my '05 for nearly a thousand miles and I did notice some noise from the front for about 40-50 miles. I figured it would just take awhile to break it in. I was right, from then on (so far) I'm very pleased with them. I did fill to 41 psi from about 35 from the shop. I...

    Bridgestone BT-021 tire

    In case anyone is interested, I just had a new BT-021 rear tire mounted two days ago and took a 400 mile ride yesterday and It rode so smooth and handled so good I really never even thought much about it. I only replace the rear as Iv'e still got miles to go on the front 020 'stone. No quirks at...

    FJR Comfort.

    I'm 6'5", 250# and used to ride a Kaw 1500 classic. The FJR fits me fine... after getting a Cee Baily +4/+3 windscreen, bar risers, a Sargeant seat and different grips which I'm about ready to change again. I'm 51 and just can't take more than 100 miles riding or driving anything without...

    Why are people so rude?

    Sad... But it's the absolute truth around here.Tree huggers/rolling roadblocks suck.

    Tankslapper kit

    If anyone has been tempted to buy a Mag-Knight tank protecter ( like I did) and was put off by the price then check out this place and get a 2'X24" roll for $69.00 (shorter rolls are even less of course) and choose your color to boot. then just cut out exactly the size you need. I use this...

    earthquake

    Yeah, I felt and heard it too. One of our sliding closet doors banged back and forth and our dog started barking. We live in Milwaukie (about 6 miles from downtown) and it was nothing like FJR Pig described.

    Tall Rider on an FJR

    Welcome! I'm 6'5" and 250# with a 34" inseam and I'm very comfy on my '05 (non adjustable seat). I do have to admit to having to stop every 100 miles or so just to stretch out a bit, but that's just me. Not the bikes fault. This bike works for me, your results may be different.

    Frustrated with Yamaha, considering BMW

    I couldn't be happier with the Yamaha dealer I bought my FJR from. I did have to wait 6 weeks for mine but from what I've read here over the last year and a half others had to wait much longer. The iceing on the cake was that when it showed up the weather was lousy and I was in the middle of...
